Answer:
India's single time zone is a legacy of British rule, and is thought of as a symbol of unity. ... India stretches 3,000km (1,864 miles) from east to west, spanning roughly 30 degrees longitude. This corresponds with a two-hour difference in mean solar times - the passage of time based on the position of the sun in the sky.

Answer:
India is a large country. ... However, the government chooses to keep a single time zone across the whole country (similar to China), despite various requests and proposals to change it. This means that the sun rises and sets almost two hours earlier on India's eastern border than in the Rann of Kutch in the far west
